Essential Question:

What are the possibilities and limitations of forgiveness?

Read/Think:

Read each of the sample situations on the Anticipatoin Guide handout. Next to each, check either "Yes" or "No" indicating whether or not the situation deserves to be forgiven.

Discuss:

After completing the Anticipation Guide, turn to a partner and discuss the situations you checked "Yes" on, and the situations you checked "No." What factors went in to making your decision?

Think/Write:

Choose one statement from the guide and take a position on whether or not a person deserves forgiveness. Write a thorough response (include evidence and explanation) on your blog at least 5 sentences long.

Include the word "forgiveness" in the title of your post.

Make sure your blog is linked to the "Blog" page on this wiki. This is how you receive a grade!
